What do you do if you are in trouble on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.
Body signals
Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training, When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means, "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.
Smoke signals
The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it’s a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a tire unless you're sure that it can’t spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.
Ground-to-air signals
It's a good idea lo build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols (标记). If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:
F "I need food and water"
II "I need medicine."
I "I am badly hurt."
X "I am unable lo move from here."
Pilots' replies
If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means: "message received and understood" (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilot flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received hut not understood" (At night, the: pilot flashes the plants red lights.)
However, there is no signal which means "message not received.According to the passage, you can use _____ to build Ground-to-air signals on a lonely island

China is a country with a long history. It has great traditional culture, especially Chinese characters. Chinese characters usually have more than one meaning and some of them are very interesting. Here are six ones. We use “pinyin” here because “pinyin” is the Chinese spelling way for the characters. For example, “fu” is the “pinyin” for good luck in Chinese. “pinyin” “fu” is only the phonic part of the character and if you want to know the meaning of good luck “fu”, you must read Chinese character 福 because “fu” also represents(代表) other Chinese characters that sound the same.
“fu” means blessing, good fortune, good luck. Chinese character “fu” is one of the most popular ones used during Chinese New Year. Chinese people often put up “fu” upside down on the front door of a house or an apartment. The upside down “fu” means good luck comes since the character for upside down in Chinese sounds the same as the character for “come”.
“lu” is used to mean official’s a pay in old China. “shou” means long life, age or birthday. “xi” is happiness, The doubled character “xi” means double happiness. It is usually put up everywhere at Chinese weddings. “cai” is weath or money. Chinese often say “ money can make a ghost turn a millstone”. It is to say money really can do a lot of things. But, money can’t buy everything. “he” is an important part of Chinese culture. It means good relations with other people, when you have “he”, things will be a lot easier for you.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words， they have more chances to choose a good job， while people with little or no education don't. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn't accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life getting education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact， if education is just a way of making a living， people don't need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and math need not be taught in detail(详细)， either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is wellrounded(全面的) and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak， read and write， but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that， it is to make him a wise man. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music， read good books， watch good plays and most of them take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education， but certainly not the most important or the main reason.People with little or no education have chances to choose a good job.
| A．more | B．fewer | C．many | D．much |
One of the earliest reasons of education was probably .
| A．making a man lead a better life |
| B．teaching a man to write and think |
| C．making people get a way of living |
| D．teaching people to read good books |
From the passage， we know that the writer thinks making a good living is for education.
| A．an important reason |
| B．the main reason |
| C．the most important reason |
| D．the least important reason |
According to the passage， which of the following is TRUE?
| A．All people think the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. |
| B．People don't need to learn language or math at all. |
| C．Education is to make a man lead a better life. |
| D．Only education can make all people take an interest in the world. |
